Verbatim HDD 2.5" USB 3.0 GEN2 External hard drive USB HDD 4 TB

4 TB Portable Hard Drive with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed

The HDD 2.5" 4TB USB 3.0 GEN2 portable hard drive delivers high-capacity storage in a truly mobile form factor. Designed for users who need to carry large media libraries, project files, or full system backups between locations, this 2.5-inch drive pairs a 4 TB capacity with USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectivity. The slim enclosure measures just 119 × 81 × 20 mm and tips the scales at approximately 220 g, slipping easily into a laptop bag or camera pack. Bus-powered operation means a single USB cable handles both data and power — no separate adapter is needed at the desk or in the field.

Backup Software and Energy-Saving Design

What separates this drive from a bare external HDD is the included software bundle. Nero Backup software enables scheduled or on-demand backups of files, folders, and entire drives, while the Green Button utility suspends the spinning mechanism after configurable idle periods ranging from 10 to 120 minutes to cut power draw and extend drive life. The unit ships pre-formatted in NTFS for immediate Windows use, with a formatter tool on the drive itself for Mac owners who need HFS+ compatibility. Operating temperature is rated from 5 °C to 50 °C, with storage tolerance down to -40 °C.

Technical Specifications — Performance and Physical Design

The combination of a 5400 rpm spindle speed and an 8 MB cache buffer delivers adequate throughput for archival storage, file transfer, and backup workflows rather than direct video editing from the drive. The USB 3.0 interface provides a theoretical bus speed of up to 4800 Mbit/s — roughly ten times faster than USB 2.0 — while remaining fully backwards compatible with older USB 2.0 ports on any PC or notebook.

Ideal for Backup, Archiving, and Mobile Storage

The HDD 2.5" 4TB USB 3.0 GEN2 is the right choice for musicians, producers, and content creators who need to back up large session files, sample libraries, or video projects without depending on cloud storage. Photographers and videographers will appreciate the 4 TB capacity for archiving raw footage and high-resolution images between shoots, while office users and students benefit from straightforward plug-and-play simplicity on Windows 11, 10, 8, and Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. Field recording engineers and touring musicians also gain a reliable, lightweight companion that fits in a gear bag and runs from any laptop USB port.
